sis900 and natsemi are similar, probably both could be handled with one
driver.
e.g. freebsd has one driver for natsemi and sis900.
But I'm not a big fan of huge drivers that handle multiple 99%
compatible controllers and always break for one controller if you try to
fix another controller, so I won't try to merge them.
